Dharma on Demand | Ep15. Thanksgiving Blessings
On this Thanksgiving day, we reflect on our blessings and happiness using the Mangala Sutta (Sutra on Happiness). We reflect on what exactly is happiness and what should count as blessings. On this episode we recognize that blessings aren't the things that happen to us, but on the things that we do to create those blessings.

Dharma on Demand | Ep12. The Eightfold Path: Right Mindfulness
Right Mindfulness (Samyak Smriti/Sati) is at the heart of the Buddha's teachings. The Buddha says that the Dharma, the ultimate truth or things, is directly visible, timeless, calling out to be approached and seen. The ultimate truth, the Dharma, is not something mysterious and remote, but the truth of our own experience. It can be reached by understanding our experience, by penetrating it right through to its foundations. This truth, in order to become liberating truth, has to be known directly.
